      Here's a shocker: the Navy guy who nominated one of the documentaries was obviously gay.

        Looks like a sweep for the Coens; well-deserved but still damn surprising.
        Unbelievable!

          Always loved their work and am glad that they get to go hog wild at an Oscars. It helps when you are adapting a Cormac McCarthy novel .

            Nice to see Bourne Ultimatum cop a couple minor awards (sound mixing, sound editing). Since I've seen so few of the movies, I can't judge the fairness of the selections, but I've always thought attention to technical detail was one of the strengths of the Bourne flicks.

              I've been a fan of the Coens since I first saw Blood simple on its opening weekend. But I thought "No Country" was hugely over-rated. That doesn't mean it wasn't the best of the nominees; it may well have been (I haven't seen "There Will Be Blood" yet, but it's better than the others, certainly). Hard to begrudge them the award, but I don't get what teh collective critical orgasm was about; I mean, it's not like it was "The Big Lebowski" or anything.

                  Anybody seen the movie about Katyn? Didn't win "best foreign movie" though, but it is certainly on my "watch" list.
